Ramadan Around the World

The Muslim holy month in photographs.

This year Ramadan continues until Sept. 19 and for some Muslims began on Aug. 21. (As Slateexplained in 2001, the exact dates vary from country to country and even from mosque to mosque.) During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food and drink during daylight hours.
